About This Recipe

"We discovered the Chuck Eye steaks a few years back at our local grocery store. The butcher recommended them to us. He calls them 'the poor mans rib eye'. They come out incredibly tender; you just can't beat them for the price. We prepare them many different ways, but this is my husband’s favorite when he's in the mood for a spiced up steak. I highly suggest preparing them outdoors on a grill side burner if you have one, as the rub does smoke when cooked in the cast iron pan."

Ingredients

Rub

1/2 cup
chili powder

1 tablespoon
ground cumin

1 tablespoon
dried coriander

1 teaspoon
cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons
dry mustard

2 teaspoons
dried oregano

1 tablespoon
salt

1 teaspoon
ground black pepper

Steak

4
chuck eye steak
( 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick)

olive oil

Directions

Prepare the rub by combining all ingredients.

Preheat a cast iron pan over high heat, and grill (or oven) to 425.

Rub each steak on one side with the rub. Brush over the rub with a light coat of olive oil.

Cook the steak, rub side down, until 'blackened', about 5-7 minutes.

Flip the steaks over and continue to cook either on the grill or in the oven, until medium rare (or desired doneness), approximately 8 to 10 minutes for a thicker steak.
